Buy pots.
The answer to everything and all of our prayers.

Let me spend 20g per stamina pot on the AH.
Except, not really.

Fire it is.

I timed it for you.

From 120% Stamina, I died and came back with 17%.
The time it took me to regain all of my stamina from 17% was 4.5 minutes. So, probably around 5 to 5.5 minutes from a lower percentage.

Personally, I hate the stamina system. It could be improved / better but no one wants to strive for better, "it's fine the way it is" or whatever people like to say.

The game's been out for more than a week. >.> My 40-something Priest (my first character) was from the Open Beta weekend on April 20th, I believe? (I got her to 32). Then I had the head start on the 28th of last month and got her to 40 by the first week of May. Afterwords, I took a few days break, then when I came back, I re-rolled a Mystic and caught her up to my Priest after a week and a half or so. 1 through 40 isn't hard in this game, I'm not "rushing", especially considering the first level 60s have been 60 for quite a some time now. :P Everyone has their own leveling pace, I'd consider mine as moderate.

I normally don't rush to cap level either. Never, ever, ever. However, I'm so tired of the leveling system now, I might just try rushing to catch up with my husband (60 lancer) and hope it's better (atleast I can get into dungeons lol). There's no point in staying at low levels if it's not fun for me.

PS: I don't really care for Tera's story lines. There have been a few quests that have caught my eye (usually the romance ones), but Tera's back story and such really doesn't interest me. At this point, I'm playing this game more for it's combat system than anything. I'm really looking forward to end game PvE and PvP.

Tbh, at first I didn't mind the "kill X mob's" quests but after awhile, the novelty of the combat system wore off for me. My second character is in her 40s and I can't seem to muster up enough will power to "get back into it." Normally, I'd queue for dungeons and battlegrounds inbetween questing, but I don't have that option here (1 to 2h+ queues as a healer...should've rolled a Lancer). Player killing gives no EXP or any kind of benefit outside of GVG. =\ So, yes, I'm bored out of my mind killing the same recycled NPC's I was killing when I was level 3.

What would make it more interesting for me? Probably public quests / events, battlegrounds (I know they're being added but hopefully they give EXP), EXP for player killing (players your level of course), a better LFG/Dungeon finder system, less "kill x" and "collect x" quests. It'd be fun to stop a town from an invasion or maybe use objects to complete a quest (ie: set out a fire). A few special quests sprinkled into the mix of "grinding" ones would make a world of a difference.

I think Tera's leveling system is the bare minimum and offers nothing special outside of it's combat system. Personally, the only challenge I've come across so far was healing 3 blind melee and a tank who doesn't know where he put his block keybind.

On a side note, I really like grouping for dungeons. But again, my wait time is so long that I'll be lucky to see one (usually someone ends up being afk [who happens to be the group leader], the tank will leave and then it's game over before the dungeon even begins). I'd probably have more fun leveling if I was leveling with a group of friends (who happened to be a tank)....maybe.

I leveled a Priest to 40 and then leveled a Mystic to almost 40 (doing every dungeon several times on both characters). As a result, I 110% agree with your message. I don't know how much this will change at higher levels. However, I can't make up for other people's mistakes as a Mystic in dungeons (I was fine doing this on my Priest).

I came to this section for answers. Maybe I was just doing it wrong, but I really feel my Priest was "noob group friendly" and my Mystic struggles with bad groups. Not to mention I have to beat PUGs with my scepter in order to get them to utilize my motes. I wish I could just throw my orbs at them instead of relying on their self awareness (while having an option to lay them down as well). Or maybe I just want to throw rocks at them because it'd make me feel better. Gah, whatever.

Now I'm not sure if I should stay with my Mystic or my Priest now.

I was just wondering if Enmasse has any plans to offer a "Plastic Surgery" or "Re-customization" option anytime soon? Maybe even race changes if possible?

Honestly, I'd love to remake my high level character. I hope it's a feature soon. Not sure if this is available in KTera or not.

Not going to lie, made me lol.

Just dropping by to say this is a very good post. I read all of it and learned something, which is odd for me to do on these forums.

Ugh, they should've made the healthbars blue and the names red (for people in your party), not the other way around. It's really irritating in group fights. >___>

My priest.
